International Pet and Animal Transportation Association

Best Shipping Pet Airlines Recognized by IPATA!

IPATA recognizes the importance our airline partners play in the transport of family pets. Beginning in 2018, IPATA members were able to publicly recognize their top choices as the Best Pet Shipping Airlines in each region. Members voted for the airline within their region and then FROM their region to each of the other regions in the world in each of five areas:

  • Communication
  • Compliance with the LAR
  • Pricing
  • Reliability
  • Transit Care

Separate awards were given to the best pet shipping airline in the Americas, in Asa/Oceania, in Europe and in the Middle East/Africa regions based on the IPATA member airline with the most votes in each region.

IPATA applauds the following member airlines that are truly exceptional in the quality of pet transportation services they provide to our industry.
